Why now?

In the last 100 years research in cephalopod biology, particularly octopus, squid and cuttlefish has made major contributions to several areas of science and neuroscience in particular. Cephalopod biology research is very active in a number of European and Mediterranean countries with topics include for example construction of a “robot octopus”, vision and behaviour in cuttlefish, cephalopod genome, nociception in octopus, 3D mapping of the octopus brain, neurosteroids and tracking cephalopod behaviour using telemetry.

This workshop will critically review current cephalopod research from a European perspective and specifically examine the potential of cephalopods as “model animals” to address a range of research questions from molecular neuroscience to ecology.

The conference website will continue to evolve as we get closer to the conference dates. Features such as Program updates, Speakers and Community, General Info will be added over the next few weeks and then updated continually.

At the same time we remind all of you that Early Bird Registration will close soon (January 21th, 2011). As you noticed, the registration fee includes conference fees, accommodation for three nights, continental breakfast, two refreshment breaks, light lunch and evening meal.

A number of student meeting awards will be available; the award will assign complimentary registration for the EuroCeph2011 meeting.

I do have the the printed version of the program but it contains the institutions of the authors only- no emails.

In any case, you can see the presenters for the first and second poster sessions. You can find links to their institutions under the Community section. Searching for the name in the institution's page should bring up relevant contact info.
